Everyone loves to see a big smile but how about the world's largest human smiley face?  This World Smile Day® the citizens of Worcester joined together to form the smile recognized around the world.

WSD 2002

In 2002 there was no Guinness World Record category for human smiley faces but if there had been Worcester would have set the record. Once again Worcester residents (about 500 of them) converged on downtown to form a human smiley face on City Hall Plaza, sending a message of goodwill out to the whole world. And the whole started to notice as more and more people found their way to the World Smile Day® website, discovering the day and participating in their own way in a number of different countries. Notably, since then Guinness has created a category for human smiley faces. A number of attempts have been made to set a record and that record has been broken several times.
